Purchasing Service Credit

Combined Plan
Members enrolled in the Combined Plan are eligible to purchase service credit for leaves of absence and Ohio teaching service interrupted by military service. Contributions for time spent in military service will be accepted by STRS Ohio under the same terms and conditions as Defined Benefit Plan members. Terms and conditions for purchasing a leave of absence in the Combined Plan are the same as in the Defined Benefit Plan with two exceptions: 

1. members pay the full cost of the leave, including employer contributions and member contributions, and 
2. members can only purchase leaves after they have made their permanent election to the Combined Plan.
